So, I tried the idea that came to me after I wrote the last post and it actually looks pretty good for something I threw together in 5-10 minutes.
I created a cone, used a Clouds Displacement texture and used UV warp to add some movement. I imported a fire material from an old fire sim .blend I had, made a few quick mods and this is the result. Still needs tweaking but it’s a start.
I’d still welcome better suggestions if there is a better way.
I have attached my .blend.
